Maintenance

​

Trusty Steel Longrun Steel Roofing must be installed and maintained in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions, NZBC Acceptable Solutions E2/AS1 or E2/AS4, and the Metal Roofing Manufacturers (MRM) NZ Metal Roof and Wall Cladding Code of Practice.

​

Little maintenance should be required apart from the removal of lichen, moss and organic growth that may become established. A water-based chemical treatment recommended by Trusty Steel Ltd as being suitable for use with the Trusty Steel Longrun Steel Roofing must be used for the removal of organic material. Petroleum-based solvents or cleaners must not be used.

​

Annual inspections must be made to ensure that all aspects of the roof cladding, including the pre-finished coating,  the flashings and any joints remain in a weatherproof condition. Any damaged areas or areas showing signs of deterioration which would allow water ingress must be repaired immediately.

​

All roofing and cladding products are subject to the cumulative effects of weather, dust, and other deposits. Normal rain-washing will remove accumulated atmospheric contaminants from roofs. Gutters must be regularly inspected to remove debris, which may cause ponding. 

• ROOF: Rain washing plus manual washing every 6 months

• Wall cladding: Rain washing plus manual washing every 6 months.

• Unwashed and high-risk areas:  manual washing every 3 months.
